The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Chapter 242 It turns out that the Emperor is fine!!

No matter what the situation is, he has to go!!

……

Outside the tent, a young soldier whispered, "Master Gu, there is a person outside the barracks..."

The young soldier wanted to say something but hesitated, so Gu Sichen asked him to come in and pass on the message.

He lowered his head, folded the letter, and asked, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

The soldier was a little embarrassed to speak, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Gu, there is a man outside the barracks who wants to see you!!"

Gu Sichen clenched the letter tightly, his heart in his throat, and asked anxiously: "Who!?"

"Qiu Yanli."

After hearing that it wasn't Shen Jingli, Gu Sichen's face darkened slightly, "No, let him go!"

The young soldier remembered Qiu Yanli's panicked expression. He paused and continued, "But he... seems to have something important to tell you."

Gu Sichen's mind was already in a mess and he had no intention of paying attention to others. Tonight at 11:00 p.m., he had to go to Fan Yue Tower quietly to meet Shen Jingli.

While there is still time, he needs to wash himself up carefully. After all, he has become unkempt since he came to Xixu City!

The Emperor must not be allowed to see him in such a miserable state.

Qiu Yanli is Nancy's man, so it's better not to meet him, so as to avoid his crazy words and making me unhappy.

Gu Sichen's face darkened slightly, and his tone became colder, "Let him go, I don't want to say it for the third time!!"

The young soldier rarely saw Gu Sichen's cold face, so he responded tactfully: "Yes, I will tell him to leave the barracks as soon as possible."

----

Snowy country.

The new ruler, Nancy Zimu, closed her eyes and rested. She lazily leaned on the bed, and her maid Atana fanned her gently: "My lady, the supply of blood spider poison... has increased a lot."

"How much is enough?"

"Ten thousand people."

Nancy Zimu slowly opened her eyelids and sighed silently, "It's only enough for 10,000 people. It's far from enough. Let her speed up the production of the drug."

She added: "Those barbarians are already extremely anxious. If we wait too long... I'm afraid they will cause trouble."

The chief of the Sang tribe has been urging her to prepare the spider poison quickly, at least enough for 100,000 people.

Also, the antidote for spider venom must be delivered in advance, so that it will be easy for the Sang tribe to attack Dayuan! !

When the Sang tribe conquered Dayuan, they and the Xuerui Kingdom divided the world into two, and from then on... the two countries coexisted in peace.

……

Atana thought, "Madam, you know that she has a strong personality, so we can't push her too hard, for fear that she will get angry."

Nanxi Zimu's eyes turned fierce, and she said coldly, "Humph! That woman claims to be from... Ghost Valley. What a shabby organization. I've never heard of it."

Her voice slowly cooled, and she sneered, "She just has a recipe for a highly toxic poison. After all this time, she only provided a dose for 10,000 people. How dare she get angry!?"

Seeing Nancy Zimu's gloomy face, Atana quickly responded, "Yes, my lady is right."

Nancy Zimu played with the curly hair on her chest and said contemptuously, "She wants to use my influence to achieve her own success. Can the priorities be reversed?!"

Atana continued to agree: "No, of course not!"

"What about the blood spiders we cultivated? How is the progress?"

Atana: "It's still not toxic enough to cling to the skin properly."

Hearing this, Nancy Zimu's expression turned horrifying: "What a bunch of rubbish! Keep researching!!"

"The poison master is already working day and night. I believe good news will soon reach the lady's ears."

Nancy thought thoughtfully, "Not only do we have to make the poison, we also have to make the antidote, otherwise... there's no guarantee they won't turn against us."

Atana hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but remind her: "Madam, in order to make drugs, we have already spent a lot of manpower, material resources... and financial resources."

Seeing that Nancy Zimu was not angry at her words, Atana dared to continue, "Madam, if you continue to develop the blood spider, it may not be appropriate."

She asked, “What’s wrong with that?”

"Your Highness has only been king for a short time, and people's hearts are still unstable. You must not let people with ulterior motives find out your faults. This will... not benefit you at all."

"..."

Seeing that Nancy remained silent, Atana pursed her lips and continued, "You increased taxes, and the people have long been complaining. Now... people in the streets are saying that you ignored the overall situation and spent a huge amount of money on the blood spider incident, and watched the people suffer with cold eyes!"

Nanxi Zimu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "As citizens of Xuerui, we should be willing to pay taxes for the country. I am just letting them suffer for a while. There is still a long way to go...Are you afraid that you won't have a good life?!"

Atana shook her head helplessly. Eh, do those in power never consider the suffering of the people below?

The lady only thinks about the problem from her own perspective, but if the people lose their hearts, there will definitely be riots!!

She wanted to continue to persuade him: "Lady, the people are already hungry and sleepy, how can they have time to daydream about whether they can live a good life in the future...!?"

"In fact... as long as you live your life well, the people will naturally be grateful to you."

"Wait until the future..."

Nanxi Zimu interrupted Atana directly. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a heroic and passionate tone: "What are you afraid of? If you are afraid, I won't be able to sit on the throne!"

"Now that you have become the king, do you still have to look at other people's faces?!"

She shouted sternly: "If anyone is dissatisfied or has any complaints, just let him come to me and tell me!"

"I will teach those ignorant people a lesson, and let them know... what it means to be a king! What it means to be a minister! What it means to be a citizen!!"

Seeing that Nancy Zimu was already very angry, Atana had no choice but to give up and dared not persuade her anymore.

She lowered her head and said in a humble tone: "Yes, yes, my lady is right. The king is the king, the ministers are the ministers, and the people are the people. They should not overstep their authority, and they must not lose the rules of respect and inferiority."

Nancy Zimu looked at Atana deeply, and said coldly: "Just do your job well, and stop saying those irrelevant words!!"

"..."

She waved her hand, signaling Atana to leave, "You've heard enough. I can't keep you here any longer. Think about it carefully!"

Atana felt a chill down her spine, cold sweat trickling down her cheeks. "Yes, I will abide by my duty and stop talking nonsense to displease the lady."

"Go down!!"

"I'll take my leave, little one."

After saying that, Atana left with a dejected look on her face! …

Xixu City.

Inside Fanyue Building.

Qin Yejue and Shen Jingli had already been waiting for Gu Sichen in the private room. She took the lead in putting some spider venom antidote into a small gourd porcelain bottle.

She stroked the gourd porcelain vase and thought about something.

……

Qin Yejue saw that Shen Jingli was looking at it seriously, so he immediately held her cheek and asked, "Is it really that beautiful?"

Shen Jingli's thoughts were suddenly interrupted!

"..."
